8 Lyrics by John the Ghost

I ONLY WANT TO LIVE ONCE

2021

[Verse 1]
Eight
Eight fingers cross down
Two thumbs slowly turn
As I wait here in this waiting room
For
Another chance to see
Your face once smiling
Know you hate it in this sick bay too
[Chorus]
Wish that I had somethin' clever to say
But every single line is stuck in my teeth
If only I could hear your pain, I will wait for you
'Cause you'll wait for me
[Verse 2]
Three
Three in the mornin'
Seizin' up quickly
That's a good thing in this pain, yeah
Just look
Just look how far you came
Cost you part of your brain
But you made it, yeah, you made it
[Chorus]
If only I could see it out myself now
It's funny how this whole life thing plays out
Serenity, it ain't easy, I will wait for you
If you wait for me
[Bridge]
I will wait here
I will wait right here
I will wait here
I will wait right here
(Wish that I had somethin' clevеr to say)
I will wait here
(But evеry single line stuck in my teeth)
I will wait right here
(If only I could hear your pain, I will wait)
I will wait here
(I will wait for you)
I will wait right here
